About this course
Marion Golf Club is a nine-hole public course in Marion, Massachusetts, near Cape Cod. It opened in 1904 as the first design credited to George C. Thomas Jr., who later created Riviera, Bel-Air, and the North Course at Los Angeles Country Club. The course winds through former farmland, with original stone walls still in play as hazards on several holes.
Playing to about 2,685 yards and a par of 34, Marion Golf Club is a walking-friendly layout with flat fairways, circular greens, and squarish bunkers reflecting its early-1900s design. It is the town's only public course and has been kept afloat over the decades by local caretakers and, more recently, a group of Marion natives who took over its lease to preserve public access.

Acushnet, MA · 7.7 mi away
Acushnet River Valley Golf Course is a town-owned public course in Acushnet, Massachusetts, along the state's South Coast, convenient to Cape Cod, Providence and Boston. Brian Silva designed the course, which opened in 1998. The 18-hole layout plays to a par of 72 and measures about 6,807 yards from the back tees, with a front nine cut through tall white pines and a back nine, holes 12 through 17, that opens into treeless, links-style terrain with rolling fairways. The course is open to the public and hosts more than 100 outings each year, along with golf lessons and youth league programs run through its pro shop.
Brookside Club
Bourne, MA · 9.4 mi away
The Brookside Club is a semi-private course in Bourne, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod just over the Bourne Bridge. It was designed by golf architect Michael Hurdzan and opened in 1986, then refined by architect John Sanford in 1996. The par-70 layout runs through a residential community, with condominiums bordering many fairways and greens, and features steep elevation changes and several partially blind approach shots that give it an unusual character for the region. The course promotes itself as offering a private club feel while remaining open to public play, with a restaurant and event space also on site. At roughly 6,300 yards from the back tees, the course rewards accurate iron play over length, particularly on its narrower, sloping holes.
Falmouth Country Club - Osprey
East Falmouth, MA · 13 mi away
Falmouth Country Club is a 27-hole facility in East Falmouth, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, combining the 18-hole Osprey Course with the nine-hole Talon Course. Osprey was designed by architect Louie Rubesa and opened in 1965, playing to a par of 72 over roughly 6,665 yards on flat terrain typical of the Cape. Bunkers have a natural look, and the course integrates wetlands, ponds and streams, including an osprey nest overlooking the water near the tenth hole. The club is certified as an Audubon International Cooperative Sanctuary for its wildlife habitat and conservation practices. Falmouth Country Club operates year-round as a public facility, offering online tee time booking without prepaid fees, and is a frequent choice for casual and visiting golfers given its flat, walkable layout. The property also hosts group outings and maintains a golf shop and snack bar in its clubhouse.
